DiscussionResearch and discuss with a partner the main problems facing a focus country from the selection above who are experiencing a changing climate and discuss how they are being addressed. Report your findings to the rest of the class. For example: The video ‘One last drop’ created by Tolib from Tajikistan features a number of children who are seeking access to safe, clean water. Did you know that changes in rainfall combined with increased potential evaporation are expected to result in reduced runoff across many places? In some cases reductions could be severe. Follow upThe video ‘Baby Trees’ by Dorin from Romania described how young people are concerned about deforestation in their country. Did you know that forests play a major part in the carbon cycle? Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and stored in plants, leaf litter and soil until decomposition returns it to the atmosphere. When the carbon is absorbed faster than it decomposes, the standing stock of forest-carbon increases and the increase is known as ‘biosequestration’. The video ‘CO2’ by Kamila from Uzbekistan shows young people’s concerns about greenhouse gas emissions. Did you know that increases to the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is causing the world’s climate to change, resulting in extreme weather, higher temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, increased bushfire risk, and threats to ecosystems globally? Consider what the video titled ‘Protect Nature’ by Hanna from Finland might be saying? Use a consequence wheel to examine first, second and third order consequences of any issue that is part of understanding the use of sustainable practices at your school as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that you know about.
